40 years....

My mom and dad's 40th wedding anniversary was today. We decided to celebrate by going to their favorite restaurant, Montgomery Inn Boathouse. Not only is their food incredible, the views are amazing as well. It is right on the river. If you do not live here in Cincinnati, you must try it if you come to town.

I thought I should dust my camera off (since I haven't taken a picture in what seems like forever!) and snap a few shots of the day........

After our dinner, we gave my parents their gift. We put three pics in a frame. The first from when they got married, the second one was right around the twenty year mark, and the third was recently taken. At the bottom of the frame, we had a plaque engraved with their anniversary date and celebrating 40 years........Here is a close up of the top of the frame.....

and this sweet girl cracks me up. This is my niece Lydia. I took her picture and when I was done, she told me, "again!". So here are her "poses". LOL....

What a ham! LOL

and here is a great example of how my sister always comes prepared....she brought J.T.'s DVD player so he could watch a movie and ring pops for all the kids. Easy to say, they enjoyed it! ....
J.T. .... Sisters, Taylor and Lydia....
